Well, maybe I'll get lucky and the BC Library download site will get it in before I give in to temptation.

If you can hold out until the next coupon contest comes around, and Kobo keeps it at the current competitive-with-iTunes-and-Amazon new release discount price of $10-ish CAD, maybe you'll luck out on a good code and can get it for a lower cost if the BC Library doesn't oblige in time. |
Well, so much for good intentions. I broke down and bought it with a 35% coupon and am now 1/3rd of the way into it, having put Campion aside for a moment. Of course, this was woefully wanton, since I already had the latest Rivers of London/Peter Grant book coming (and it arrived overnight.) But so what - I have to excellent books to read, and I think I'll do the Aaronovitch book,
Foxglove Summer, as an audio book first.
